I would classify ND as a very good university, not excellent. Just saying.
Maybe it is just a matter of definition but aside from Ivy League schools, Michigan, Northwestern, dare I say Duke, and maybe Stanford and USC. These schools are "excellent"
I think ND is indeed an excellent school. US News and World Report agrees (http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-universities), but I think you may be letting your personal feelings impact your objectivity.
has a completely different rating. They factor in quality of student life, access to arts, campus setting and many trivial items.
Most of the respected ratings has ND about 30. We are in the top 10 in every college and many in the Top 5.
A potential decommit from Michigan does not necessarily mean an official commit to ND, especially since he's supposed to visit OSU and Miami. Your gloating is a bit premature.
A Notre Dame fan joking about people not being able to hold onto defensive back recruits. That's totally reasonable.
I'm Ronald Darby, and I approve this message.
Wait, wait...
I'm Tee Shepard, and I approve this message.
I thought you had your mind made up, but seems like you just can't stay committed...
He'll fit in well there, you know, with backing out of commitments and all.
This is a pollo-rama thing
Go phork yourself.
For the life of me, I will never understand the mindset of a troll. Not even taking into account that you're a Notre Dame fan which, yikes. But to take the time out of your day to go to other teams message boards to gloat over a potential recruit is just a sad I can't comprehend.
I come here for the cookies. But I stay for the insightful football analysis.
to watch your flames from a safe distance.
TWW, if you're interested in learning more about the "mindset of a troll," there are academic studies trying to understand this phenomenon.
Here is a story about a recent study done by psychologists from the University of Manitoba, University of Winnipeg and University of British Columbia. I'm not aware of any studies that contradict these findings, or else I would post a link to that too in an effort to be balanced.

Looks like Phork touched a nerve. Decommits are a bit of a sore subject around the board these days.
I don't care about a decommit. I really don't. BRAGGING about recruiting is always lame in my book and using phrases like "We'll take good care of him" shows what how pedo-esque this loser is.
what is your obsession with pedophiles? I read his comment too and hate ND as much as anyone but I don't see his comment as being "pedo-esque". We'll take good care of him? Come on dude. I think you're the one with your mind somewhere it shouldn't be if you take that innocuous comment and make it about pedophilia. Trolling, yes; Pedophilia, no.
Honest question....
why do you take the reaction to one comment as an "obsession"? I'm not the only one who got that vibe from the post, btw.
You do realize you made a priest abusing a child joke just below this where you used "pedo." Not cool at all.
you made like four comments in relation to that post, all of which talk about the poster being a pedophile.....hence my question. this was meant for nema
You're a fucking creep.
I'm sure you will....
Take good care of him? You mean like this?
Or were you thinking more like this?
This is one of my favorite plays. 3 ND guys taking each other out of a play. I'd have loved to be a fly on the wall in the ND film room the following week with all the defensive guys.
And of course, this too, yes? I mean, look at that technique!
simply because that took ballz. Along with a lot of stupidity.
Hot damn! That block always puts me in a great mood!
all the mgopoints I've got...HAIL!!
El, Oh, El, Notre Dame defensive backs.
About time! I was wondering if folks here at memories that reached past UTL (which I would put in SUPER CAPS if possible). Maybe Dave Brandon is more in people's heads than they'd like to think.
that was not a touchdown, i mean we have so many of those to choose from that a mere 65 yard pass play withiout a TD is not a representative sample...
Musberger trolled the SHIT out of you and your team Phork!
HAHAHA.
At least he won't have to lose to Michigan for his 4 years while at ND. Man, would that suck.
He Gone........
He might be calling the coaches tonight, but another site has said that the family has been putting off calling the coaches because they know what Hoke will tell them.
would send out an offer until they talked. However it is still only fair. They went on their visit without talking to Hoke so there is no reason for Hoke to not send out offers.
Winner winner chicken dinner! 41-31, ohh and lets not forget 42-14
